My favorite animated movie is Disney's The Princess and the Frog.

My favorite children's book is Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss because I read it to my firstborn so often that we memorized it together. It is one of my favorite memories of reading with my children.

My favorite childhood "toy" was the outdoors. Growing up in Jamaica, I loved being in nature and exploring the world around me.

My mother is my greatest inspiration. She overcame so many challenges to become a nurse at 45 years old and to have a prosperous career, taking care of the elderly.

My hobbies and interests include gardening, walking, and reading for leisure. I love getting wrapped up in a good book. Watch out, Netflix—books are making a comeback!

Ive always loved children. I initially wanted to become a veterinarian, but I found out pretty quickly that animals and I do not get along . With kids , I love the investigation when they cannot tell you what's wrong. I love watching them become their own person . Love the journey together.

I pride myself on being down to earth. I am a good listener, and I love the art of the differential diagnosis. When a parent has a concern, I am all ears. Let's figure this out together.
Teenagers are a special bunch . Getting through to a teenager and making that connection is ultimately satisfying .

The doctors office can be very stressful for children . From shyness to anxiety to Autism Spectrum , its important to be able to read the room and tailor your approach to each child. My 22 years of experience has taught me a lot about first impressions.
